ELSARTAN 50MG 10 tablets

Elsartan

ELSARTAN belongs to the class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers, which are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of stroke in individuals with heart disease. Hypertension is a medical condition characterized by persistently elevated arterial blood pressure (140/90). Chronic heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood as effectively as it should.

By inhibiting the activity of the hormone angiotensin II, ELSARTAN is able to prevent the constriction of blood vessels, consequently reducing blood pressure and increasing overall blood flow. In addition, it protects your kidneys if you have both renal illness and diabetes.

ELSARTAN should be taken daily at the same time with a full glass of water, independent of meal intake. It should not be broken, crushed, or chewed. Your physician will recommend the appropriate dosage based on your medical condition. Possible adverse effects include dizziness, fatigue, low blood pressure, weakness, anemia (lack of blood), hyperkaliemia (high potassium levels in the blood), alterations in renal function, orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure upon standing or sitting), and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The majority of unwanted effects of ELSARTAN do not require medical attention and diminish with time. If the bad effects persist, please consult a physician.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to ELSARTAN or any other drugs. It is recommended that you complete the whole course of ELSARTAN and not stop taking it abruptly, as this may result in repeated symptoms or worsen the condition. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children under the age of six should not take ELSARTAN. When ELSARTAN is used with alcohol, the risk of having low blood pressure increases. Potassium supplements should be avoided while taking ELSARTAN because they can cause an increase in blood potassium levels.

ELSARTAN TABLET is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and avoid heart failure.

Medicinal Advantages

ELSARTAN is a medication used to treat and prevent hypertension and heart failure. ELSARTAN is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that suppresses the function of angiotensin II, the hormone responsible for blood vessel constriction and hypertension. Thus, high blood pressure is decreased through dilation and relaxation of blood vessels.

Use Instructions

ELSARTAN should only be taken if prescribed by a physician. ELSARTAN should be administered precisely as suggested by a physician. Your doctor will recommend how frequently you should take your prescriptions based on your specific medical condition. For optimal results, take ELSARTAN with a glass of water at the same time every day, regardless of meal intake. It should not be broken, crushed, or chewed.

Storage

Place in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight.

The majority of unwanted effects of ELSARTAN do not require medical attention and diminish with time. If the bad effects persist, please consult a physician.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a medical condition characterized by persistently elevated arterial blood pressure. The most prevalent causes of high blood pressure are obesity, diabetes, smoking, a high-salt diet, stress, inactivity, and old age. The typical range for blood pressure is 90/60 to 120/80 mmHg. The definition of high blood pressure is a blood pressure value of 140/90 mmHg or greater. Untreated, it can lead to heart disease and stroke. Chronic heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood as effectively as it should. Causes of heart failure include high blood pressure, heart muscle hypertrophy or damage, dysfunctional heart valves, and constricted coronary arteries. Heart failure is characterized by fatigue, shortness of breath, a rapid heart rate, and leg edema.

FAQs

LOSARTAN is contraindicated during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, due to the risk of harm to the developing fetus. Please with your physician before using LOSARTAN TABLET if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

It is not recommended to take more than the recommended amount of LOSARTAN, since this could result in overdose symptoms such as low blood pressure and a rapid or slow heartbeat. If you have any of these side effects while taking LOSARTAN TABLET, contact your doctor immediately.

It is not advisable that you take ibuprofen with LOSARTAN because the combination of the two medications may impair the effectiveness of LOSARTAN and elevate the risk of kidney damage.
